This is a post I never saw myself ever writing. Around this time last year, all I wanted was to get my hands on physical ARC copies and nothing more. Now as I write this, it’s funny because I recently just re-homed all of my physical ARC copies including some published books that I wouldn’t really cry over.

This post is dedicated to physical ARCs and how light you can feel once you’ve gotten over the hype.

It’s only recently that I learned to control my book buying impulse whenever I walk into a bookstore, so I thought of sharing some of the things I swear by to avoid regrets, unnecessary expenses, and book clutter! I also have a simple flowchart to follow that you can download and keep in your phone the next time you find yourself walking into a bookstore 😉

Although this blog has been around for three years, it has only been a few good months since we have made bookish friends within the community in the Philippines! So we were very excited when we made plans to go to this event for the first time!
